Hi, my name is Mike from Canada, and this is for elllo.org. The question is, is deforestation a problem in your country?

Well, as I'm from Canada. There is plenty of forests and plenty of logging going on. There are also plenty of environmental activists that are extremely upset about forests and the way they're being cut down for lumber. Now the opposite argument is that there are many things: houses, wood products - they all come from the trees that are cut down, you could say that cutting down trees is bad for the environment, but on the other hand, you have to cut down trees for the use of wood, so is it a problem?

Yes. But the only solution is that after the forest has been logged to take the proper procedures to replant.
